According to scientists, previously, it has been proven that the pregnancy and later the birth of a baby, have a profound impact on the health of mother.

Modern dads are increasingly participating in the care of the child. As a result, the main body of men's nervous system undergoes physical changes, that is, increases the amount of gray matter.

Laboratory experiments implemented by scientists, appeared in the journal called Social Neuroscience. According to doctors, results of the experiments are serious impetus for studying processes that take place in the structure of the brain. In particular, during the test group of experts used the MRI. As stated by scientists from Yale University, located in the United States, they were able to analyze the work of the gray matter in certain areas of the human brain.

According to experts, the central body portions of the nervous system affect the response rate of men when their child begins to cry. Also, doctors have found that in the prefrontal cortex of the brain specific changes occurred, which allowed to the guy to perform multiple tasks.
